Here's a sample: "Meretz is a non- Zionist Israeli party belonging to all citizens;" "Meretz is Zionist, while it has non-Zionist members;" "Meretz has never been defined as a Zionist party;" "We are an integral part of the Zionist system;" and "Meretz is a Zionist left party, an Israeli party with Jewish and Arab members."

Mossi Raz, the party's secretary-general, claimed that Meretz had never defined itself as a Zionist party
